Great video. I've been fly fishing over a decade and never thought to grease my line. Curious if it's a regional habit? Very thorough presentation; well done! ☮ from North Idaho.
Excellent video. I disagree with using desiccant on CDC because you’re stripping away the oil that helps it float. Apply some Loon Lochsa before fishing and it should keep floating after multiple fish. I still rinse and dry with a rubber band, or better yet one of my wife’s elasticated hair ties! They don’t break down as fast as rubber bands. Tight lines.
Another really useful video thanks Steve.
Thanks David! Happy New Year mate, here's to a great 2025! :)
Thanks, love the rubber-band trick!
You’re most welcome!

Thanks Shane! Yeah I must give it a try. :)

Thanks! I’m not sure whether it is a regional habit or not, maybe? Anyway I hope it makes a difference for you. Tight lines! :)
Been using fly dip for about 12 months. Very effective on cdc…a little fidly/messy!
Yeah I like fly dip too, works well!
Great vid Steve 👍
Thanks mate! :)
How do you attach the leader to your fly line? It looks like it is a tied connection rather than loop to loop.
Excellent video.
